Drew's First Cactus

The ASU Season art opening was pretty rad! A combination of great local art and those hungry for it made the evening a nice, creatively encouraging place to be!  Despite the many obstacles of this particular Gravity live show (including our cellist John missing his flight and the sound nightmare of a hall the performance was taking place in) it turned out wonderfully! I must admit that we had the best crew of support ever through the (endless) sound check & set up from Michael who lent us tons of much needed equipment, to the quality sound engineering of Catherine & Mike (who both steered me to the best coffee in Arizona) to the last minute stand-in cellist Ambur! Not to mention the consistently wonderful, proactive staff at ASU!

And of course Brendan and Drew (pictured here with a cactus which he was totally psyched about seeing during his first desert visit) were their normal, awesome, musical-genius selves! Channeling the energetic vibe of the audience led to a show that was a bit more rocking than our previous ones, making it a new experience for us all...an experience I don't think we could have shared with a better group of people!
